					| Shrewsbury Excels in 9-0 Oakland Win |  
					| No one was more impactful than Randy Shrewsbury in the 9-0 Oakland win over Houston. Shrewsbury, who finished 2nd in the AL in wins above replacement with 7.4 in 2043, went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles,  and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The win puts Oakland at 17-16 this season. 
 Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Quincy Bradford? The Oakland shortstop had a 2-run  double in the top of the first inning to put the Athletics on top, 3-0. For the game, Bradford had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.
 
 "We maximized our offense today," said Oakland skipper Daryl S. Oakland. "That makes everyone's life easier."
